[GUIDE][COOLTOOL] Display CPU + GPU temperatures in statusbar (no root/xposed needed)



Hi friends, as i see people complaining about temperature but they dont know the actual cpu temperature (and the people like me who wants to do extensive monitoring on top of all apps) , i decided to write an easy to follow guide on how to monitor these temperatures in statusbar.

You need cooltool from playstore installed, no root or xposed is needed for this operation.
i configured my statusbar to show as less as possible in cooltool, so only CPU usage, CPU0, CPU1 and GPU temperatures will be displayed after following these steps.

These steps may apply for other devices too, but please note that the sysfs paths may differ from device to device and even from android version to another.

1. Open up cooltool and swipe to the second tab ''labels''.
2. Make sure CPU usage, Custom Label 1, Custom Label 2, and Custom Label 3 are ticked and the rest is unticked.
3. Hit ''Fine Tuning'' below
4. Hit ''Custom Label 1'' and configure like this:

Code:


Prefix: G1:
Postfix:
Path: /sys/devices/virtual/thermal/thermal_zone12/temp
Regex: (\d+)
Replacement Pattern:


5. Hit ''Custom Label 2'' and configure like this:

Code:


Prefix: C1
Postfix:
Path: /sys/devices/virtual/thermal/thermal_zone7/temp
Regex: (\d+)
Replacement Pattern:


6. Hit ''Custom Label 3'' and configure like this:

Code:


Prefix: C2
Postfix:
Path: /sys/devices/virtual/thermal/thermal_zone13/temp
Regex: (\d+)
Replacement Pattern:


7. Hit ''OK''

Now it should show in statusbar, if not, hit ''Show Panel''.
You can theme it to your likings and align it in the spot that suits u best via the various sliders and settings, just play with it.
Additionally, u can disable notification via settings>apps>cooltool>notifications


If all done, things should look like attached screenshots.
G1 = GPU temperature
C1 = CPU0 temperature
C2 = CPU1 temperature
